Julia – Co-founder, Curo | Chartered Accountants
I’m Julia Gallagher, a tax focused Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Advisor, which gives me a comprehensive understanding of how tax affects your business. After qualifying at Moore Stephens, I moved to the Owner Manager Business department at KPMG to carry out audit work but quickly followed my passion for tax and became part of the tax team for this sector, qualifying with KPMG as a Chartered Tax Advisor. I then spent time in various other tax departments gaining experience in large business and advisory before leaving in 2005 to launch Curo. My specialism is providing inclusive tax advice to owner manager businesses and their families, not only on the corporate tax aspects but also succession planning and protecting family wealth, both on-shore and off-shore issues. During my time at Curo we have also developed a niche in various tax relief claims including research and development and capital allowances. I became one of the first Chartered Accountants licensed to perform probate services which enables me to provide further support for clients and their families.
